OK I'll byte...

1. don't you need to declare the 'override vars' before the host
declarations if they are to be used?

2. why not have 1 or 2 logging levels as variables (have you tested how much
this script will end up logging on an @home connection?)...variables loglev1
& loglev2 and set them both to "-l" or "" as desired.

3. need other modprobes such as ip_raudio

4. flow & programming is elegant but tough for beginners to understand.

5. lastly, no instructions on how to execute - i.e. add to rc.local (I
assume that's what you have in mind for startfw) or a more elegant script
for /etc/rc.d/init.d which is added via chkconfig to levels 345.
